Patternmaking
With SDS -ONEs patternmaking software, high-quality patterns can be created
easily. Comprehensive drawing and editing functions allow detailed control
approaching that of manual patternmaking.
Marking
In addition to manual marking, SDS-ONEs marking software features
ultra-high speed automatic marking for instant creation of markers. The
software is also capable of creating markers in sequence, allowing fully
automated marking of multiple jobs overnight.

Grading
Correct sizing of products can be achieved with
grading software. Users can choose between
pitch-formula and rule-formula grading. With
such high-quality grading features as line-check
and automatic pitch calculation, optimum
grading pitch can be worked out for each
product size.

 Super Realistic loop simulation allows quick
evaluation and presentation of virtual knitwear
without sample-making. Since virtual sampling
data is based on actual programming data, once
approved, the design can go to production
immediately.

 Mapping
Loop simulation images are mapped onto
photos of existing samples for a realistic
representation of how the final product
will look. These images can be used
for presentations as well as for visual

Yarn Design
From designing original yarns from
scratch, to arranging existing yarns
that are scanned-in and simulating the
twisting of several yarns together, virtually
spun yarns can be used in realistic loop
simulation to create convincing fabric
textures.
